Another question: Why didn't they show us where the other door out of the hatch leads? I assume just dramatic effect, but who knows. And did anyone see "Quarantine" on that door?

Did not see it but not sure it was not there as it looked to be a double hatch system.

Another thought, Desmond could be a catalyst, an outside element throw in to speed up the experiment, he supplies information (true or false) to generate a reaction. This goes back to there being moles amongs the group.

Desmond exits stage left, going where? What does he know, even if he did not get out much? Is there a map inside the station, other tidbits?

I am curious as to why Jack became so violently angry with Locke about the numbers. If Jack didn't believe him, just push the danged button to placate him. Don't act like you're doing him this big favor. I can see being angry with Desmond since he pulled a gun and threatened to kill them, but so far, if it hadn't been for Locke, they would all be sitting in the caves or on the beach waiting to die. Jack is a very good leader but he's only led enough to keep them alive. Locke is the one searching out things and finding out what's going on with the island.

Of course, they've done a good job distracting the test subjects! They don't even know they're involved in the experiment!

Except Jack, who MAY know what it is and that is why he is acting the way he is - he is looking for a way out of the box, this also mean he does not trust anyone else in the box with him!

The people from the tail act just like the people from the front of the plane. Michelle Rodriguez is more than likely their leader and I will go as far to say a cop or such, her in the pit was such a plant. Bet the big black guy is Rose's husband and when he learn she is alive will help the three back to the others...

I think he is to young to be her husband. He's probably just another passenger.

I have a feeling that Jack has been burned by "faith." One scenario I was talking about with my wife was perhaps Jack's wife either died or left him. In either case, maybe Jack feels betrayed by the "miracle" that occured to allow her to walk again, since he did consider it a miracle. That would explain his attitude towards not believing in what he can't explain.

Anyone have a screen clip of the picture in the bunker of Des (?) & girl?

Jack is part of the distraction.

WE are the experimental group. WE are the ones pressing the button -- every wednesday at 9:00!

I was thinking along those lines as well. Maybe she realized she did not love him, but was only infatuated with him becuase he helped her walk again, and went back to her fiance. That would meke me loose faith.

So the mysterious Hanso Foundation funds research that may or may not be the source of many of the islands strange happenings. I maintain that this still jibes with my meta-theory, that whatever brought the Hanso Foundation to the island is unrelated to them (i.e. the island is a nexus).

Rosseau clearly mentioned a central facility that the Others had taken over (but apparently had failed to find/disable her distress message, since that's where it was broadcasting from). Was Rosseau's original hideout a substation? Is she hanging out in a similar substation to Desmond's somewhere else on the island?

My guess is now this: Ethan and the Others are the remains of the failed experiment, turned militant. The device may be holding them in check in some fashion. Why 108 minutes, though? What if they opened a portal to somewhere else, and whatever on the other side is possessing the Others, mistakenly interpereted by some on the island as a disease?

Great stuff to provide for new speculation, this episode.
